sp now just over 50p

The spread is only 1%, normally it's 4%. Could it be so narrow to attract some sellers, if mm are short of stock.

A good rise against the market today.

A good rise against the market today.

Have cut and pasted Brewin Dolphins latest update. See below........

Brewin Dolphin lifts its pretax profit forecast for 2009 by 51 percent to 5.6 million pounds, and for 2010, by 50 percent to 6 million pounds, while raising its target price to 65 pence from 42 pence. "We expect the group's tightly controlled cost base and operational gearing to enable a significant advance in profitability," says the broker, reiterating its "buy" recommendation.

Great thanks spitfire.

Huge transactions today, so far 1,920m buys - 500k sales and 5,055m unknown between 52 and 52.5p. I'm guessing buys but not sure unless someone can tell on level 2. Just worked out that 8.5% of issued shares have been traded up to this time today, at this rate my short term sp target at 56p is begining to look very short indeed.

Just seen it thanks spitfire.

Noticed lots of small buy transactions today pushing sp up, might be somthing like scsw could be out today with a good write up. However took advantage and sold part holding, but majority I will run to next target.

First sale since my purchase in september 2007.

I'm holding.

My new sp target = 84p.

wow thats great in 12 months..?

Certainly achievable within 12 months. I would expect some more broker upgrades during the year. I think brokers are being too cautious with 2010 forecasts, even allowing for a higher tax charge.

Tipped in i.c on Friday and scsw over the weekend, so expect to see higher volumes today.

cool! onwards and upwads ! any t/o, revenue. SP targets /timescales etc.. ?

Brewin Dolphin have a sp target of 65p. I can still see EDD being a takeover target by someone like Kaplan, with the pound still weak against the dollar now may be an ideal time.

Strong gains today. Interesting to see two 1 million share purchase at 10:38 at a price of 58p when the spread was 56.5 to 57, the buyer was very keen to get hold of these. Also another 1 million share purchase has just gone through at 57.83p.

still going strong...despite the crap markets ! something about to be announced ?

Just continuing strong buying, but should be RNS announcements if recent large buys trigger. I still fancy a takeover approach at some point.

wow ...whos stake building here. 3 x 1 million share purchase again after 16:20, two at 61p and the other at 60.82p. The same happened Tuesday this week and on 5th Feb, this is becoming a very interesting.
